Firefox crashing computer...

It broke my heart to do it, but I had to uninstall FF today, and maybe you
can all help me resolve the problem...

The fact is FF is freezing my computer. This started a few weeks ago, and
got to the point where I reformatted my hard drive, thinking it might be a
Windows problem. Everything was working fine till after I reinstalled FF
1.0.5. Then things started freezing again, only when FF was on.

So I took it off. No problem.

The I installed the new FF 1.5. Great... till it started again, this time
not even when it was running, just in virtue of the fact I had installed
it..

I've now removed it, and nothing has happended since. BOOHOO, since I love
FF and would much rather use it than IE. I really miss those tabs!!!

Does anyone have the first clue why it could be doing this? Is it something
that has come up for others? FYI, I'm running a Pentium 4 @ 3 GHz with 1.5
gigs RAM and Windows XP Home SP2

Why not switch over to Mozilla suite? I had problems with it myself and
was about to quit when someone suggested Mozilla and I tried it and
liked it and have had no problems over the lastg 6 or 7 months I have
been using it.

=== the profile is in your user folder, in XP it's....
C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Mozilla (you may
need to replace "user" with your user name) (also you may need to turn
on "show hidden folders).............
before you do that though you might try starting Firefox in safe mode
and click on the options to repair (if you have those options)........

otherwise uninstall Firefox , then delete your user profile ,
restart your computer and reinstall Firefox........ you will need to
reinstall your extensions, I suggest doing so one or two at a time,
restarting Firefox ,making sure it works ok, then install a couple more
( extensions or themes are probably the problem )=======
